I find it somewhat odd that you'd use one of the core doctrines of empiricism to argue for the existence of an immaterial soul.

The quote comes from Thomas Aquinas. It's called the Peripatetic axiom.

If this is not a rhetorical question, it's easy enough to find the answer in Thomist theology. It's standard Aristotelian hylomorphism, in which, as usual, the soul is the form of the body and doesn't exist without a body.
